Your Visit
Appointments
We see patients by appointment. Please call to make an appointment for your child’s visit. We offer evening hours during the school year, and these may vary depending on holidays.
Plan ahead for yearly exams during the busy pre-camp/pre-school seasons. Let us know if you have a complex or chronic issue so we can plan enough time for the visit. We charge a $25 fee for missed appointments and last-minute cancellations of physical exams.

Services
Prenatal Visits
Expectant parents are welcome to make a prenatal appointment to learn more about our practice and tour our facility. Please call to make an appointment and let us know if you have a preference for a particular pediatrician. If you choose our practice, please make an appointment for your newborn two days after your baby leaves the hospital, unless otherwise instructed.
Growth & Development
One of our most important goals during your child’s checkups is checking their growth and development. From infancy to adolescence, your child reaches many steps and stages. We check that your child is growing and developing appropriately and meeting his or her developmental milestones.
If you have any concerns about your child’s growth or development, we encourage you to make an appointment. You may also schedule an appointment to review any information needed for WIC, such as your child’s weight, growth, hemoglobin and lead.
